Firmware 3.3.0 Dropped

From Page 416 Looks like New Plugin Effects
* AIR Chorus
* AIR Multitap Delay
* AIR Vintage Filter

Maybe some bug fixes? Don't see it in the manual though.

Manual Update at https://cdn.inmusicbrands.com/akai/Force/330_dsghdfgt/Force%20-%20User%20Guide%20-%20v3.3.pdf

Looks like just the free effects that were included in the last MPC update. No mention of bug fixes or any new core features with this one.

I think bug fixes, if they're listed, are listed in release notes, which is not available on the download page yet.

So my theory was right that we would get those new features in a new update.

Apparently the mod wheel LFO bug is still present. Basically when you save a project it corrupts any program that contains LFO modulation (specifically the mod wheel value), leading to unpredictable pitch warbling etc. IMO quite a high priority bug.

I really don't know what to think anymore. People have been asking to fix the bugs, proper midi learn, and some pretty basic tools like a spectrum analyser for years. And akai gives us a chorus. I feel fooled honestly.

Does it allow the new premium plugins to be installed or is it still only offering the 10 day trial?

They're ours to keep! After the installing them, there's no 10 day trial sign.
We don't get 2 of the other plugins the Expander & Spectral tho

Interesting. The new firmware version isn't on their download page yet. They're still offering 3.2.

Huh? I see 3.3 right in my account at the top, and if I go to the Force product page it's right at the top on the landing page. If I hit 'downloads', it's the first link I see. It's been like this since launch. Maybe it's a browser cache issue on your end?

Did you do a page refresh? The Force page has been updated & it say 3.3.0 on the top of the page & now there's a actual download page that waaaaaay more organized then before.

Yup, I had reloaded.

Turns out, they've javascrippled their pages so I had to go reading the HTML to find the actual link.

For other people in a similar boat, try:

Weird, two different browsers on 2 different computers, plus my phone, and they all showed up from Day 1. Do you have Javascript turned off or something?

Turned off? I use a browser that doesn't have it.

It reduces so much clutter...

Ah, gotcha. Perhaps that’s the issue. No clue.
